The Journey of Struggle & Success

First things first! Life of an entrepreneur is certainly very risky choice, my career is my life, my company is my child and my employees are my family members .I’ve started my business from scratch without any investment and financial help from my family members or funding from any third party investors. The only thing which I was carrying along was tons of confidence about the concept of my business and was also having a clear vision about my goal. Like other successful entrepreneurs, I even tried a lot and even failed at many times, but I’ve accepted and acknowledged those failures and took them as a key learning point!

Always look On The positive Side of What You Can Do!

Being an Entrepreneur , It gives me an opportunity to make a great contribution to the society by creating more and more jobs for people of highly affected war zone area and university students who make people life be better. The business model of Entrepreneurship is entirely different from the Traditional lifestyle of business, each and every day there is so many new things for me to learn. I always keep challenging myself which has become the greatest motivation for me as it also helps me to enhance my skills and efficiency. It feels proud when I say that where I am today is because what I dream to be and the way I have put my efforts.
